The Personalization Movement
Personalization has always been a popular marketing trend, but with recent widely successful campaigns such as Coca Cola’s #ShareACoke campaign, it has seen a major boost as companies rush to make use of its popularity before it goes stale.
As a result, thousands of companies are reimagining their packaging with better personalization and spending large sums in the process. The statistics say it better: the personalized packaging market had a valuation of over $980 billion in 2017 alone.

Iridescence is the new hottest trend, taking on the packaging industry like a storm. It has already made its mark in other industries – especially fashion and design – but its mark in packaging is about to be bigger than anything else.

Increased Demand for Fats
Trans fats, hydrogenated oils and saturated fats, once major ingredients in all popular confectionery, are slowly falling out of favor worldwide.
